"Barcelona lost exciting youngster Dro Fernandez in the January transfer window, in a move that upset manager Hansi Flick, with the teenager deciding to leave the club and join Paris Saint-Germain. Dro's release clause was just €6 million, although PSG did end up paying slightly more, which may well have encouraged the Ligue 1 club in their pursuit of the midfielder. According to RAC1, Barcelona are now taking measures in a bid to try and prevent a similar thing happening in the future."
"The club want to take preventative measures in a bid to "avoid another Dro case" and have temporarily put a stop to all ongoing renewals as they want to change some release clauses. Barcelona want to put in place new contracts which mean that any players who debut with the youth team will have a release clause set at €6 million, while a debut for Barcelona Atletico will see the clause rise to €10m."
"Going further, any player who goes on to debut with the first team will see their release clause rise to €100m - measures taken to avoid losing any more talented stars for small fees."
Dro Fernandez left Barcelona in the January transfer window to join Paris Saint-Germain, with a release clause of €6 million and PSG paying slightly more. Manager Hansi Flick was upset by the teenager's departure. Barcelona have paused ongoing contract renewals to change release clauses and prevent similar departures. New proposed contracts would set a €6m release clause for youth-team debutants, €10m for players who debut with Barcelona Atletico, and €100m for those who debut with the first team. The measures aim to stop losing promising academy players for small fees.
